What is a slide-out?

Topics

For example, after landing a 180° backward, you return to forward riding by turning your skis sideways, slightly unloading them, and rotating back to the original direction over the flat skis. This movement is called a slide-out or revert. It requires a bit of feel but no strength. The key is not to catch your edges but to let your skis glide over the snow. A slide-out helps you smoothly return from switch positions without slowing down or falling. It is a practical link between a trick and continuing your ride.
